Christmas Shows on TV – When to Watch (2010)

The more popular Christmas films and TV specials – with info on screening times and/or links to info on screening…

You can also look up times for these and other shows on the TV Guide website. (And you can read about, and possibly find times for, the cartoon/animated Christmas movies and specials at A Cartoon Christmas.)

An updated version of the Dickens story, with Bill Murray basically being Bill Murray, playing a TV executive who is putting on a Christmas special, but is a real “bah humbug” guy – until he gets visited by three spirits.

Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye as a couple of song and dance men who end up at a ski lodge in Vermont, run by their old commander and about to go out of business because of the lack of snow. Isn’t that a weird way to synopsize the movie? Accurate though it is, it doesn’t exactly capture the point and the pleasures of the movie.
